Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 17, 2004, the registrant entered into a Second Amendment to Lease (the "Second Amendment") with Divco West Properties ("Landlord"), which is effective as of December 17, 2005. The Second Amendment is an amendment to the registrant's lease for its corporate headquarters and research and development facility located in San Jose, California, which is approximately 188,000 square feet. The Second Amendment provides for a change in the base monthly rent and an extension of the term of the original lease as well as certain changes in the registrant's renewal options under the original lease. The Second Amendment is conditioned upon Landlord acquiring the real property and improvements where the facility is located from the present owner (the "Closing") on or before January 31, 2005. If the Closing does not occur on or before January 31, 2005, this Second Amendment shall be null and void.
The initial term of the original lease was to expire in January 2007 and has been extended through December 2014. The total base rent over the new 10 year term is approximately $26 million. The Second Amendment provides the registrant with two separate options of sixty months each to extend the lease terms.
The registrant intends to file a copy of the Second Amendment as an exhibit to its Form 10-K to be filed for the period ending January 2, 2005.
